Johnnie Allan: Promised Land

Richard Wootton, Omaha Rainbow, Summer 1978

'PROMISED LAND' by Johnnie Allan is a rarity — a perfect pop record; just over two minutes long, it's a dynamite recording of the old Chuck Berry classic in the unique Southern Louisiana style of Cajun influenced rock and roll. It's fast, furious, yet controlled; once heard, never forgotten.
